Glossary

The monthly cost of AI tool subscriptions. Most founders end up budgeting 10-20% of operating expenses here.

When two tools integrate perfectly via API. Data flows automatically with zero manual work, zero context switching.

Constant low-grade stress about what to keep in your AI's context, what to summarise, and what to drop.

Keep It Simple, Simp. Don't add tools just because they exist. The default answer is no.

Someone who builds complex automation using no-code and low-code tools instead of writing traditional code.

When your planned stack slowly accumulates tools without strategy. Each one solves a real problem. Together they become unmanageable.

The feeling when your entire stack clicks and works flawlessly together. Tools talk to each other, data flows, automation runs. Pure bliss.

A perfectly optimised, minimal, beautiful tech setup. Every tool earns its place. No bloat, no waste.

Regret after adopting too many tools too fast. 15 subscriptions you barely use and dread auditing.

The desire to use a tool before you actually need it. Driven by FOMO or a great demo. Gateway drug to stack bloat.

Someone who obsessively researches, tests, and integrates new tools. Status symbol in startup culture.

Coding by describing what you want and letting an AI agent ship most of it. Less typing, more reviewing.
